...tour, Tricky was joined by a live band who did a surprisingly astute job of recreating the menacing environment of his recordings. They mixed genres seamlessly, performing ambient dub, driving jungle and straight-ahead rock with equal aplomb. While pre-recorded sounds were used, they were kept to a minimum. The sound was very tight but very flexible: four-minute tracks became ten-minute jams, with Tricky repeating phrases with mantra-like intensity. This vastly improved his music: in his studio work, Tricky compresses ideas into his songs, but the live venue allowed his songs to stretch out, achieving blinding...

In fact, I specifically stated that the College does not fall back on Title IX as its rationale for opening previously single-sex programs to men and women...
...preliminary law last June, 15,000 companies or sectors voluntarily negotiated 35-hr. accords with workers ahead of a year-end deadline. The second 35-hr. law, due to be voted on next week, gets specific on such matters as overtime, coffee breaks and the status of managers and minimum-wage employees. The latter must be paid 39 hrs.' salary for 35 hrs. of work--equivalent to an 11% raise--with the government making up the difference...
